It makes me wonder what if we were all children. It would make for an unbelievingly wonderful world. Children come into this world with a clean slate. They are ready to become completed individuals.

P.S. It was by public acclamination at our 2004 Legacy in Literature Dinner that Mr. Harris was declared a Saint.
